THE NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM.
"ln my opinion" said Representative
Bynum, OF Indiana, today, "relief for the
national banking system will be one OF the
most prominent features OF Congress dur
ing the present session. OF course, il will
take about year for the people generally
to understand that the stringency of iinan-
clal matters is not due TO banks directly,
but that greater circulating medium for
the banks wouldincrease the flow Of money
among the people there can be no doubt.
Naturally the national banks are taking
out the minimum OF circulation, on ac-
count OF the great premium On bonds which
they must deposit TO secure circulation,
and the short time which they can run be-
fore maturity.
80 far have heard no other general
expression us TO what is needed for the
banks, but the low-ratc, longtime inter
est-bcaring bond seems to be the prime
favoIite. ! am afraid that the crudencss
OF the public as well MS congressional ideas
as 10 the proper thing TO be done with the
banking system will result in great deal
OF talk and no accomplishment. The
accommodation Of the controller OF the
currency for reducing requisite deposit to
secure circulation about onc-hali from the
prsent law is very sensible and should be
adopted"
An Ex-coNGREssMAY's CLAIMS.

THE YALEs BADLY BEATEN.

Stagg and Damn Get RattIed and the
 Giants File Up Many Runs.
 NEW YORK, April S.-The fact that to- day
 was Good Friday did not deter large crowd
 of society people from going to the Polo
 grounds to witness the match game between
 the Yale team and the New York nine. The
 fine weather made the contest most enjoya-
 ble despite it's one-sided aspect. The sharp
 fielding of the college boys earned for them
 many plaudits and whenever one of them
 managed to steal base he was loudly chaer-
 ed. The home team did not do any extra
 ordinary batting. The college bat
 tery was rather weak and Stagg had great
 difficulty in keeping his face to the batsman
 He sent in good many passed balls and in the early part of the game got Damn, his catcher, badly rattled. The pair improved greatly after the second inning. In the first Four of the Yale men went to the bat in their half of the opening, but only three should have got there Connor dropped the ball sent to him. The New Works went out in marching order and the Yale men were re- tired without earning anything. The home team made nothing in their part of the third inning, but Ward managed to get round to third base where he died, The collegians did better as they managed to score two runs. Wurtemberg made a base hit and Stagg followed his example and then George fumbled, allowing the men to move up two bases. Moves got in good hit to right field and Stagg and Wurtemberg ran home, leaving Moves at first base. In the fourth inning the Giants added another run to their score. The Yale men got cipher, The first half of the fifth inning was full of heavy batting on the part of the Giants. Nothing of importance was done until the last half of the seventh inning when Yale quickly filled up the bases and then ensued lively work, the collegians dancing between the bases so as to give Wurtemberg, who
 was on third, chance to score He started out at sprint pace, but was caught two feet from the home plate. In trying to shut off player at second the New Yorks gave McConkey a chance to run home During the eighth in ming the Yale men made 8 pretty piece of double play. Dorgan was at second base, having got there through an error of Spencer and wild pitch. Richardson hit n fly to short left field, which Kellogg took and then doubled up Dorgan, who was trying to reach third base. It was beautiful piece of play and was loudly applauded. The ninth in- ming was disastrous one for the college boys, who made many errors which, coupled with the hard batting of the Giants, enabled the whole of the New Yorks to go to the bat and they scored seven runs. The Yale men had streak of luck in the ninth inning and scored a run. NcOonkey drove the ball into center field and got to third base before it could be put back and he finally scored on wild pitch. The collegians got five to the bat in this inning. Follow ing is the scores

SICK AT FORT GIBSON.

l Blaine Taken Down With a Cold Which Causes Fever and Some Anx. fetY For His condition.
 ST. LOUIS, April S.-Another private tele-
 gram from Fort Gibson received here at 12:3O
 p. m. says Mir. Blaine's physician reports
 him doing very we'll, that he has but a slight
 fever and that his pulse and temperature are
 favorable.
 ST. LOUIS, April 9.-R. c. Kerns. a near
 personal friend of Mr. Blaine, accompanied
 by Dr. H. H. Mudd, prominent physician
 of this city, left here at o'clock D. n. by
 special train for Fort Gibson None of the
 circumstances leading up to Mir. Blaine's ill.,
 ness are yet known here, but particulars are
 momentar1iy expected and will be reported
 instantly on receipt. The inference naturally drawn from the fact that physician has gone from here to see and perhaps attend MT.
 Blaine Tn the face of the fact that taere is skillful army surgeon at Fort Gibson is that he is or is likely to be seriously ill To deter mine this, however, further advices will have to be awaited. Meantime the private tele- gram previously referred to giving the state ment of MT. Blaine's physician is as follows; 'Mr. Blaine is doing we'll. Only slight fever; pulse good, 80 per minnte; respiration 15."
 AUGUSTA, Me-, April S.-Emmons Blaine telegraphed from Indian territory to MT. Manley; Father took slight cold on his trip, but is doing nicely today"
 S4. IOOIp, April o-E6Tly GQ1S morning rumor circulated through the city that MT, Blaine WAS seriously ill at Fort Gibson, where he was visiting his daughter The informa- ton was received in private dispatch to R. c. Kerns of the St. Louis and Arkansas rail road. The contents of the dispatch were of such character that Kerns became greatly alarmed and hastening to the efice of Dr. Mudd, induced him to postpone his business and prepare to leave for Fort MT. Kerns and Dr. Mudd left at 8 o'clock. This sudden de- parture caused the greatest apprehension | among MT. Blaine's friends and it was re- ported he was down with pneumonia. The news spread over the city, causing considera- l ble excitement. In the afternoon the follow l ing was received: "Mr. Blaine is doing well; l only slight fever; pulse good, 80 pea minute; 1 respiration 15 per minute" This is the | of Surgeon J. J. Coppinger. Sub l the post surgeon telegraphed that | MT. Blaine was suffering from catarrhal fever. l He had taken violent cold and was very l weak and exhaused. During his recent visit | % this city it was known that he was suffer- ng and the long trip increased his trouble | It was for these troubles that he anticipated finding 8 remedy in his European trip.
 NEW YORK, April 8.-Mr. Elkins' house, No. 46 West Twenty Eighth street, one of he ladies of the family said the had received , telegram from Fort Gibson saying that Mr. Blaine's condition is not as serious as re- ported. At the time the telegram was sent private car was dispatched from St. Louis or Fort Gibson with a skilled physician.

 Breast Just Above the Heart.
 TIFFIN, O., April S.-The climax in public school difficulties was reached to-day in Bloomville, O.. when Miss Ida Sysle, teacher in the intermediate department, attempted to correct or punish daughter of James Nc Manigan. A fifteen year old brother inter tered with the teachers business and when she turned her attention to him he drew q knife and stabbed her in the breast, cutting through all her clothing, making an ugly wound about three inches long just over the heart. It was purely murderous attempt in which age only saves him from a long sen tence. The boy was severely punished and retained from school by his father The teacher and superintendent have both had considerable trouble with the boy the past few months. He will be sent to the reforma- tory

in this country. In the centre of this pie
 ture stands James G. Blaine About him
 are ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, of West
 Virginia: ex Senator Windom, of Minne-
 sota; Stephen B. Elkins, of this city, and John A. Hambleton, a leading banker of
 Baltimore. The search for wealth brought these five together. They are the directors of little railroad built out In West Virginia to develop some enormous coal properties in which they are jointly interested.
 MT. Davis, uow worth $20, ,O00, 900. was brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad just before the war broke out. James G. Blaine was 8 sch.o1 teacher for many years after that and so was Sen ator Windom. Stephen B. Elkins was a clerk for some years after he attained his majority, and John A. Hambleton began his career as the office boy for Baltimore firm of brokera. Senator Windom went West in early life to reap his harvest. MT. Blaine quit Pennsylvania and Kentucky for Maine, but the other three grow up in the States they were born in. Gold has since brought them together in common purpose Yet with all their successes th us far in life 1 every one of them has yet to achieve the | rowning glory of his ambition.

Recorder Trotter,s Condition Serious,

RosTaN, April 2.-A Washington special to the Journal says: Recorder Trotter still lies in precarious condition and danger ex- isss that he may fall into quick consumption, the strain on his lungs from the attack of pneumonia in each lobe being so great as nearly to disintegrate them. He resides and is being carefully nursed at the house of Mrs. Harriett Jacobs, whose life history has become widely known both in this country and in Europe. She was slave woman in North Carolina, whose escape as graphically told in writing by herself and edited by Lydia Martha Child had great sale in the abolition period under the name of 'sLinda." She came north with her young daughter and was taken into the family of N. P. Will lis during the first Mrs. Willis lifetime, She became deeply attached to her and she went abroad with MT. Willis. When he removed and 1t became necessary to part with her owing to their altered fortunes MT. Willis said: If you get word that I am dy- ing you must come and be with me at the last.' This request she scrupulously filled, coming for the purpose from Cambridge, where she had established boarding house for visitors of prominence and some few pre- ferred Harvard students. MT. Henry Adams and his brother, Charles Francis Adams, jr., were occupants of her house in their college days"
